Members should be on the lookout to see if they have been selected for this round's invite-only event Inner Sanctum. Members, selected at random, are invited to attend a post match event to hear from the team and a member of the coaching staff. This is the fifth of six Inner Sanctum events so Members should check their inbox in the lead up of the game to see if they have been selected to attend.

The second half of every Knights' home game is Member Half. The second half starts with the Members Guard of Honour. This invite-only activity, exclusively for Members is a way to showcase how important Members are to the Club and the atmosphere at Hunter Stadium. Members should check their inbox to see if you have been invited to participate in the Guard of Honour for this game.

There's exciting entertainment planned at the game on Saturday so come to the stadium early to see a Military display in the precinct. An Army band will also perform in the precinct and on-field at half time.

There's also plenty to do for the whole family with a jumping castle, facepainting and activities surrounding the NRL's Heritage Round.

The NRL will be raising funds for the NRL Foundation and RiseForAlex Fund this weekend as part of its ongoing support of players who have suffered a catastrophic spinal injury playing rugby league.

$1 from every attendee at matches across Men of League Heritage Round will be split evenly between the Foundation and RiseForAlex Fund. The NRL are also running an online auction, again, all funds raised from bids will be split evenly between the NRL Foundation and RiseForAlex Fund.

Fans have the chance to bid for unique memorabilia and VIP match experiences. The auction is open now and will close at 10:30pm AEST on Thursday 23 July.
